I'm making fewer assumptions.
And more importantly, I've learned that in a negotiation, being "insulted" by the first offer doesn't help me in negotiating an ultimate agreement. I think a counter-offer will get you a lot further than righteous indignation.
- Silhouette 12y agoThe opening offer reveals that the other parties are either naive or trying to take the OP for a ride. Either way, they've probably already forfeited any benefit of the doubt they might otherwise have deserved in negotiations. That's not righteous indignation, it's just knowing who is sitting on the other side of the table when you're negotiating, and hopefully ensuring that you protect yourself accordingly in any final deal you agree on.
